Lego Star Wars Review January 2010: Set 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter

The Droid Tri-fighter is part of LEGO’s Star Wars wave for early 2010 and features 268 pieces. Recommended for building for ages 7-12 this set is a re-release of an earlier Droid Tri-Fighter model that came out in 2005 when Star Wars Episode III was released in cinemas.

This set is a re-release of set 7252 and is a huge improvement, literally. The set is bigger and a droid can even sit in the ball in the middle, even though the fighter doesn’t need a pilot as it drives itself. The missiles are fired from the bottom and are larger than usual. The set comes with both stickers and printed pieces, the printed pieces being preferable.

The droid tri-fighter comes with special three battle droids, known as Rocket Battle Droids because of their ability to fly round in space with an attached rocket backpack. The droids were first featured in The Clone Wars television series, episode Rising Malevolence when Plo Kloon’s clonetroopers, deployed into escape pods, were slowly eliminated by these roving rocket droids. 

The set comes with two regular Rocket Battle Droids (also featured in the Hyena Droid Bomber) and one Rocket Droid Commander who is distinguished by a yellow mark on his head and torso. The droids look a little different from the regular tan battle droids, their bodies are a gold color and their limbs a dark gray. The colors of this set are quite beautiful all round, and make a nice departure from all the gray ships we have seen recently.

Priced at $24.99 this is one of the cheaper sets in this new wave and is a fun set to play with, particularly if paired with the ARC-170 set. You always need some separatist ships to make your good guys look good and these droid ships are attractive, easy to manoeuvre and fun to destroy.
